As Ripple continues to forge new alliances, crypto currency investors are “hodling”, with an anticipation of a big bull run. In this regard, Ripple’s Vice President of product Asheesh Birla had tweeted a hint of what is going on currently in the product development division of the company.
Basically, the tweet says that the level of interest shown by financial institutions to test the xRapid platform has crossed Ripple’s own expectations and the company is working for the final product launch. Birla has also stated that quality is their top most concern and by next month the company will reveal exact dates for the product launch.
The response was issued by Ripple’s vice president (product) when someone (twitter handle “CryptoGreek77”) raised some queries (testing period, results, possible commercial use, etc.) regarding the xRapid platform.
Ripples big list of partnerships:
We have more than enough interest in xRapid for the pilot/beta period. We are now working towards full production launch but experience and quality is top of mind for us. Expect more details in the next month regarding dates.
